a: Lent ~
b: athletic training
What:
"Lent is like athletic training. The Greek word for getting into spiritual shape, from which we get "ascetical," means "athletics." The saints are called "athletes of God." A soul in shape is the ultimate healthiness, for it makes longevity eternal. A soul out of shape, through indolence and sin, is deadlier than any physical sickness"
